"How about the weekend? Do you have time?" I asked.

"Okay, how about the Hunan restaurant in Southern Department Store at six on Saturday night?" Bai Jun smiled.

"Yes, but I have to pay the bill, don't grab it with me." I said.

"Okay, I book the box in advance." Bai Jun agreed.

When the phone was hung up, I walked into the bedroom and saw Zhou Ruoyun had finished washing up long ago, sitting on the bed in a sea-blue nightdress.

Although it is still relatively cold, the indoor air conditioner is turned on and there is a humidifier, so it does not feel cold and dry, so even if you wear short-sleeved shorts indoors, you will not feel cold.

"Husband, you are late again today." Zhou Ruoyun said.

"I promise you, no matter what, I will definitely be home before ten o'clock in the evening." I said.

In fact, no matter how busy I am, I basically go home from 8:30 to 9:00. I rarely go home late. I originally planned to see Secretary Li today, but Secretary Li said that there was a meeting. It was too late to get the news. We are in a rural farmhouse. I waited for nothing, and then I came back later.

"Husband, I will not limit your time to come back. If you are really busy, you will be busy with you, really." Zhou Ruoyun smiled.

Hearing Zhou Ruoyun’s words, I was a little touched. Zhou Ruoyun has always been especially considerate of me and also very caring. I know that I can marry her is really a blessing for eight years of cultivation. I am together with Zhou Ruoyun, except for borrowing money to my cousin. , There was a disagreement, Zhou Ruoyun had a small temper, and I also knew that Zhou Ruoyun was for me and for the good of my cousin, but it did happen suddenly at that time, but all this passed.

"My wife, tonight, I went to see Secretary Li with Uncle Fang, Wang Furen and Wang Jing. Secretary Li has a certain right to speak in the project of affordable housing. It is President Wang’s old friend in Shenzhen. Nian developed in the magic city." I said.

"Since Uncle Fang has also gone, is this project interesting?" Zhou Ruoyun said hurriedly.

"No, I originally planned to show Secretary Li our construction plan, but Secretary Li hasn't come. Later, we all waited until after eight o'clock before he said we were in a meeting." I smiled bitterly.

"Isn't this discussed in advance? How could you temporarily change your mind without notifying you?" Zhou Ruoyun asked in surprise.

I was busy with the ins and outs of things, as well as when I booked the farmhouse, and when we went to the farmhouse, I began to talk to Zhou Ruoyun about the things I was waiting for.

“Uncle Fang’s project department rushed to work overnight, hoping to get a little recognition and general direction. Since Mr. Wang and Secretary Li are friends, it’s okay to reminisce about the old days and talk about the project in the interval. This is very strange.” Zhou Ruoyun frowned. Wrinkled, then said.

"You also think it's weird. I feel that we were released. Of course, since Mr. Wang said that Secretary Li was in a meeting, maybe he really couldn't get out of it." I said.

"I just think that if you are really busy and you are still an old friend, then you will definitely be notified in advance that you can't say it, instead of making you wait for a long time. Of course, it does not rule out that Secretary Li is very busy and can't take care of or forget the meal. Yes, but no matter how late he has a meeting, he will always have to eat, don't he remember it when he eats?" Zhou Ruoyun continued.

"Yeah." I nodded.

Just when I was going to take a bath, my phone rang again.

This call is Jiang Tingting.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Brother Chen, tonight is really boring. There are many people in my house, and they asked me to call people one by one." Jiang Tingting complained.

"A lot of people? Didn't you say that Gu Changfeng's family came to visit your house? Is there anyone else?" I frowned.

"It's Gu Changfeng's family, Gu Qianhao and Mengmeng are there, and Gu Changfeng's wife, besides them, is there any Secretary Li's family? Secretary Li's daughter is in college, what foreign language university, ask my dad about Regarding studying abroad, these elders are all well fed, and I and Secretary Li’s daughter Biao English." Jiang Tingting continued.

"You, what are you talking about, Secretary Li's family, what is Secretary Li's name?" I asked hurriedly.

"How can I ask what it is called? It seems to be talking about the project. I am the leader of the municipal project development. I am from Shenzhen. I have been a cadre in the city for some years. I met Gu Changfeng. They had a drink in the evening and they just finished talking. Go back." Jiang Tingting continued.

"Okay, I see. It's late now. I'll talk to you tomorrow when I have time." My heart sank and said hurriedly.

"Talk to me tomorrow, do you want to invite me to dinner?" Jiang Tingting smiled.

"Yes," I said.

"Hey, then I won't tell you, Gu Qianhao has something wrong, so I don't bother to take care of it."

Toot toot!

The phone was hung up, and I couldn't help looking at Zhou Ruoyun with some helplessness.

"Whose phone number?" Zhou Ruoyun asked.

"Wei Rongsheng and Madam Jiang's daughter, Jiang Tingting." I said.

"Oh, you told me that before, my dad even invited them to dinner, their company is very big, it is Runtian Group." Zhou Ruoyun said.

"Yes, now Wei Rongsheng and Gu Changfeng are cooperating and are also competing for this project. Unexpectedly, Gu Changfeng also knows Secretary Li. Jiang Tingting said that not only Gu Changfeng's family, but Secretary Li's family also went to her house tonight. Of course, Secretary Li’s daughter is from a foreign language university. It is estimated that Wei Rongsheng needs to pave the way for studying abroad. It can be seen that Wei Rongsheng has a lot of relations not only in China, but also abroad.” I said.

"So my husband, Secretary Li didn't go to your appointment tonight. That makes sense. He went to Wei Rongsheng's house." Zhou Ruoyun said.

"Hey, who knew this would happen, it seems we lost." I sighed.

"Unexpectedly, Secretary Li also asks for others, to put it bluntly, it is for the children, but Wei Rongsheng also has capital here. Once the project progresses, he will also pay. They are mutually beneficial cooperation. As long as the project does meet the construction requirements, then you can follow the boat. , There will be no problem." Zhou Ruoyun said.

"Gu Changfeng is really good. He made a bridge to let Secretary Li and Wei Rongsheng know him. At this moment, Secretary Li estimated that he had a choice in his heart. A man such as Mrs. Jiang would definitely let Secretary Li know the background and strength of their family. "I said.

"Husband, don't be discouraged. It's okay if you can't get the project, just do your best anyway." Zhou Ruoyun said.

"Actually, I'm quite worried now. If I tell Mr. Wang or Uncle Fang about this, I don’t know what will happen? Mr. Wang, in particular, has always regarded Secretary Li as his friend. He knows about this tonight. Maybe it will be a bit chilling," I said.

"Husband, don't mention it, just know it in your heart." Zhou Ruoyun said hurriedly.

"Wife, you said that we don’t want to talk about it. Mr. Wang will make an appointment again and be rejected again, or that Secretary Li will probably stay away now and don’t want to see it. Unless this project really goes to someone else, I guess Secretary Li will Contact Mr. Wang." I continued.
